MR. EVITOR,"frhiS is a period in which no exertions should be relaxed to press continually on the pUblic mind the consideration of the Ca tholic Question, with the important consequences it would involve. I therefore offer no ,apology should. any tbing.which bas been, or may be, ad vanced by me on • this subject be a .repetition of that whicbmay before have beeti•bronght forward in support of .the Protestant cause. It.cannot be . too often or too earnestly considered. Whatever may tend . to impress upon 'the 'Minds Of our-lel, low-lubjects the superior excellence of. our Pro., testant Constitution, and more particularly what ever may tend to convince our ParliaMentarY Re presentatives that duty to their country and them selVes uron' them, one and all, firmly to. maintain the rights and liberty of their Consti tuents, as . .3e'cured by. the 'exiSting Constitution, and to yesist . all encroachments which may, with however little probability, •tend to weaken that estahlisbnietit at a future'peeiod, cannot too often and too strenuously be repeated. I have marked with a,tegret which every subject ought to feel, the insidious and gra dual inroads of the Papists on ourConstitution.' 1 have witnessed with pain their increasing in= fluence on those through , whoseAneaus they will (if at all) succeed. The manner in which they have thus advanced, step br step, - should be. marked by every one. ,Their,prefessed obj e ct, at each advance was confined to the attainment of their then expressed- desire,. with assurances that' nothing mgrs. would Ge required. _One concession made, another, after a short lapse of time, -.was-. petitioned for,. and with its grant they repeated' their professions of being satisfied, and having attained their utmost wishes : and thus have they-, from time to time, by little and little, began the endeavour to regain that power which in. past age s has been the scot - pion scourge- of the Pro-. testant world, and which has, constantly.. sought its annihilation. • 'Thus modestly, thus insidious, ly, have .they hitherto advanced, '' whilst we have • slept, they have sown their tares ;" en couraged.by.Success, they no longer consider so much circumspection and dissimulation neces sary ; they do not now, scruple at avowing ex• plicitly that they claim to be admitted to an. equal participation of power,with - Protestants in the administration of Government. They do not. ask, but they claim it AS a "-right," in.which, they say, bey are entitled to shale in connnon with (heir otestant..fellow,stibjects,--they ", demand" the very basis of our Constitution.to he shaken—ti►ey demand that the.very foundations of those princi 7 idgs which were established. at the glorious. Re formation (from whence arise our "unjust and un wise code of laws,") shall be removed--,they nl6►td„ as - s Constitntional.eight;t to be again ad mitted to enjoy. a full. participation of political power ! We, should do well to examine whether -the right, which 6 here, .S 0 unblushingly demanded, be well , grounded or rather, whether it have any foundation at all. That it is altogether ground ; less ? , and that the right claimed does not •exist iti any particular class - of subjects, 1 hope. -dearly and concisely to prove. It will be allowed,. • Lprestne„ by every one, hat the primary foundation and•keciprocal cow.; met of civil society, hetweefi the Magistrate. and the'people, are protection and obedience,. without which no civil society cau•possibly subsist. lb the. supieme power of the State is therefore vest ed, for the benefit of society, the authority of " commanding what is xight, and prohibiting that is wrong." And 'this, by the most necessary con segtience, includes also, the right to punish the transgression of those laws which are enacted for he vi.e.ll-being of such society=but, on the other and, it cannot afford any' foundation for a claim of reward by the.people on the supreme pOWer, for' the due obiervance of 'thiise 'laws Such re wards would be incompatible with the nature' of society ;. nay, it, would be impossible to bestow them, because " no Society can . ever find a fund Sufficient for thatpurpbse, without raising it on, the People as a tax, to pay it back to them as re-• ward ;" the sUbjeCt, by' obedience, has - inrely most ample reward iR the enjoyment of that order and' regularity which results to Oe,State under which . he anskAeprotection he experiences frotin, it. ;With the impossibility to bestow on all; ceases, therefore,' the right to demand by any, re - Ward for obedience to the State. Nevertheless, the Roman - Catholics avow a claim to this sup posed right, in their demand ,to enjoy equally 'with other subjects stations of pOlitical power, simply because they morass themselves (vide the Catho lic Appeal). to be " loyal subjects of, the. British Throne," to " entertain no secret vieves,'! to " seek no innovation on the Political. Consti!u tion," "desire not the distraction •of the. State'," "' do not pretend to ascendency,". because they pro fess " the.same allegiance," " venerate the same Constitution," " , are governed by the same Parlia ment," "contribute to the pecuniary supply .of the resources of the ;State," because they " do not seek to interfere with the concerns of the Es tablished Church, its rights, privileges, or preroga tives," because they arc not more attached' to any other " ROYAL HOUSE than the present - Dynasty," and because (as THEY say) " the oath's. they 'take abundantly provide against " . the admis 'sion of • temporal 'or -cioil• jurisdiction or su ' premaccy of the Pope," and, with unblushing thontery, they assert a most palpable falsehood ia support hereof - , and call to witness " the expe rience of ages," to prove the sincerity of their le clarations ! !—But supposing what they declare to be strictly true, it plainly appears that 'their claims are founded upon negative, not ,on positire Merits—and herein they ,have done no Mote' fhan duty to the State tinder' whose Government' they are requires - of them :—and consequently such obedience, as I have beforeshewn, entitles theta not to reward, butt() protection ntrly, in common With other subjects. 'That this• protertind amply . extended to them is a fact impossible to deny :— , there were times when Papists dared trot approach within. 10 miles of on.: Capital-when their Priests were liable to perpetual impii,ou meat for the exercise' - of their sacerdotal lone tions-=-their• property subjected to confiscation, their bodies toinmptisonntant, and other severe Penal regulations. 'Where are these disabilities 'own ?- , Are they not annulled ?. Are nut the'Ya pists allowed the exercise •of their religion;: do they notenjoy their rights in common With us all ? lirdisputably they do. What further then tau 'they aspire . tdfc/aint P—lt is shewn' that the right to reward (under which denomination :must fall admittance or appointments' to stations of .r.)litival • trust and power) does not exist : and, consequently, the hardship and injustice of exclusion 'from such stations must fall to the 'ground. Do Protestants living' in independent, Catholic '• Countries • dare simply to aspire, much less to claim a. right to, places of influence and power in the Papal Domi nions ?—No---the horrors of an Inquisition would requite their temerity—destruction would reward • their zeal to ." accelerate the unrestricted opera tion" of the Government. Protestants similarly situate would not dare the insultiog•Offer " to concede erery feeling of resentment"--which therein tacioy; but elearly, would avow, that they' did possess such sentiments of *resentment. •'Why 'then'shOuld the' Catholics lay . claim- to of in our Protestant State the difference between the two cases is' too wide to admit them as,pa raltels, since the tenets of the • Protestant- do not go' to compel his . obedience •to a Pottier foreign and infinical to the dornin ton umber which lie lives : whereas the Catholics Breed/hot/es nO longer, on they acknowledge the Supremacrot 'the Pope over every other'" temporal or civil jurisdiction." For as the Pope is acknowledged by Papists to be " the Vicegerent•of God, Vicar of Christ, - Suc- Tessor of St. Peter anti superior to all temporal •Princes,'" thty cannot possibly give us any -suffi cient assurances'-on' any- point 'militating against these, their infallible a' d immutable doctrines, Which do - not allow . thein to keep faith with here tics—ante with Whom their• protestations and their oallis . are equally nugatory. It Will not•• now be difficult to prove the impo hiey of bestowing' on, and . the ineligibility of Pa. Fists to till statious of trust and power in our Pi o t estantEstablishrnent. • As. Religion is 'the very foundation of Society, is 'Religion necessary to the existence o f a eivi lized State e and , that to secure 'the stability of such State as Established Religion is absolutely • necessary can - easily he demons: rated. For it is - impoisible that Any Religion and S:ate policy can exist together-' front each of tvßich ovponeHL principles Would arise (as for instance the oppo nent claims of EcclesiastiCal over •Cieit - • Supre , - tnacy)—t hey must be co-active---.there must • sub silt between them that union which will protnOtat the itrerests 61 btith. This union of Church aml State it is our happiness to witness in the Britisn Constitution. There . is -" an obligation upon the Church to apply its influence to the service of the State"—antt hence, in return, proceeds pi Olte t ion, and the " settled maintenance for the Ministers of Religion, and an Ecclsiastical jurisdiction with co-active power;" and hence, on the other hand, " the - dependance of the Clergy on' the Stale. And from the State's obligation 'to support and -protect the Chu rch proceeds the Ecclesiastical Supremacy•ef the . Civil 'Magistrate ;" then arises, on the other . hand;:the privilege aMI eligibility of " a Churchman to a share in , the .Le. gislature," and hence the Bishop's title to his Par. liantentury seat,•as'Guatdian of the Church. • Ecalesiastital Supremacy and Ciiil Power being therefore concentrated in the Civil • Magistrate, " he is bound to protect h'e EstabliShed Church," though with thelion-conformity of any particular sect of subject 4 -.bas nothing to- do, " unless their tenets and practice are such as , 'threaten rubs and scisturtanteta the'State." And it iti security can' be prouinteil by " Admitting none but 0 e genuintltvititers:of the Church to of ecs of tidal
